Joe cyber has a new weapon against Web site hacks or data loss

The Average Joe Cyber with a Web site now has a formidable new weapon in the war against Web site hacks, crashes or data losses. Launched this week, CodeGuard from Domains.co.za backs-up Web sites daily to a secure location in a remote data centre.

After the initial backup is completed, the solution diligently checks the Web site daily for any changes by comparing the current Web site files with the last version backed-up to the cloud. A "ChangeAlert" is e-mailed to the Web site owner with information about files added, changed, or deleted, plus an array of additional information. The Web site owner can then easily recover deleted, or overwritten files, or their entire Web site, thus rapidly recovering from data loss. CodeGuard works perfectly with content management Web sites like WordPress and Joomla.

CodeGuard perfectly complements Domains.co.za's Web site hosting solutions. "Now, clients without any technical knowledge can have their Web site backed up to Amazon S3 storage and have the ability to automatically restore the entire Web site, selective files, or download a zip file of their Web site," says Domains.co.za Managing Director, Wayne Diamond. He adds that Domains.co.za has integrated CodeGuard into its Web site hosting so that there is nothing for the Web site owner to install or configure. Sign-up for CodeGuard with any of its hosting accounts and its system will automatically configure and start backing up your Web site within minutes.

Two CodeGuard packages are available, a standard Website Backup at R25 per month for 10GB backup storage, and a Website Backup Pro option at R50 per month for 20GB backup storage. "The Web site files and databases are compressed, encrypted with AES-256 bit encryption and can withstand two simultaneous datacenter failures", says Diamond.

Domains.co.za is a leading South African ICANN Accredited Domains Registrar, Web site hosting and cloud provider. The company has a history of innovation within the domain name space. For example, last year Domains.co.za became the first South African hosting provider to enable SnapScan as a payment method. This means it is able to receive cardless, and cashless, secure payments for domain name purchases and hosting services.
